Out of the total figures for 2010, 19,477 of the sold units were posted in December, an 8.6 percent increase over the same period of the previous year.
"Sales titles are nice to have but we remain focused on building long-term, sustainable, profitable growth," said David Mondragon, president and CEO, Ford of Canada. "We expect the Canadian market to grow moderately this year, by about 2 per cent. Ford is well-positioned to build on its sales success by offering a balanced product portfolio of cars, CUVs, SUVs and trucks."
Of course, most models managed to post increases in the last month of 2010, as total car sales were up 17 percent. For example, Ford Mustang increased sales by 77 percent, while Transit Connect sales rose 252 percent. Ford Escape also managed to snatch more buyers, increasing deliveries by 35 percent, followed by Ford Edge with an increase of 23 percent.
"With fuel prices rising at the pump, history shows consumers will begin migrating from trucks to cars in 2011," Mondragon said. "With our strong focus on fuel-efficient cars, Ford can take advantage of this shift in buying behaviour. Canadian consumers can find world-class quality, leading technology as well as best-in-class fuel economy at their local Ford dealership."
